Beautiful leaves but vile, VILE fruit.
From DDOT:
“The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will begin the annual spraying of the female ginkgo street trees on Sunday, April 19, 2026. The spraying will occur overnight from 9:00 p.m. through 6:00 a.m., weather permitting.
The annual spraying serves to reduce the formation of mature ginkgo fruit, which emits an offensive smell when it falls on sidewalks and roadways. DDOT will use the same spray it has used for the past 20 years, (more…)

Above from the Palisades:
“I don’t know who you are or where you live. But your GALL in parking in front of my house and abandoning your car for more than a week is RUDE, DISGUSTING, and DESPICABLE. You are thoughtless and have no class.
I with you nothing bu the worst. Karma will get you. You are a lousy piece of CRAP, stupid, and grossly inconsiderate.”
Whew.
And on the flip side:
“Dear PoPville,
When you leave a swath of public space you do NOT have any entitlement to it. You privatized it after somebody left it. No matter the weather circumstances. No matter what message or items you leave behind to claim it. If I could I would destroy each and every one of these self-absorbed parklets, and leave individualized messages about why they suck.
I have never seen DC residents sink so low. DC is NOT Boston or Philly.
Digging your car out entitles you to NOTHING. (more…)

Lots of chatter from folks lamenting the sight of dog excrement around town.
My take:
This happens after every snow storm. Hell some despicable folks don’t pick up after their pets in any weather. I believe the dog crap is just more noticeable contrasting on the white snow. Some people are just jerks in any season. Having said that, there are also currently trash cans overflowing with poop bags. So pick your poison I guess…

“Dear PoPville,
Over the past few weeks, I’ve come across at least five bottles of urine laying on the ground? Can you help raise a PSA for “please don’t litter, esp not litter with pee?” (more…)
Are others noticing full cans? Full DC Parks cans? Full federal park cans?
